The Union Government has planned to bring sports fans together to celebrate the spirit of Olympics by putting up giant screens at open spaces in all major Indian cities. The concept of ‘fan park’ is a big hit among major football playing nations where fans enjoy the tournaments on giant screens set up at a central location. Sports Minister Vijay Goel said that the locations  will have giant screens, on which events involving the Indian athletes will be aired live. 

Have they earmarked locations? If they plan to do this, they should have already started publicising it widely. Can't depend on our ministry. We must plan a contingency if we want to do it. Am ready to take the initiative in Mumbai :yes

I think we are closing our quota at 121 ......I am going by the final list given in wikipedia ( tradionally inaccurate bu this list seems logical and as per the rules ) does not include tintu in the 4*400 squad ( they anyway can use her as required )  and the 50km squad would have manish and sandeep while the 20 km squad would have irfan , baljinder and gurmeet which seems to be logical ( except that devender in recent times has done well while irfan has really not been in form ) ..............

 

can somebody confirm this 121

 

and the 20 km and 50 km race walker team ?- other than wikipedia

Road to rio on the other hand is showing 

 

manish rawat being selected for the 20km and hence not selected for the 50km walk which would bring us back to 120 ?

 

they are showing manish , gurmeet and krishnan for the 20km and only sandeep for the 50 km .............????:mumble:. i think the 4*400 squads are finalised !!!............it depends now the race walker squad ............

 

On a personal front i prefer manish , gurmeet and krishnan for the 20km squad as given in race for rio as all three have been classy recently ( i am not sure why devender is being ignored his time of 1:20:21 is the best amongst the three , krishnan is just 1:21:41 - though his performance was the best in the last walk Rome 2016  ) and the 20km squad can do something special while the 50km has no chance at all

Relay squads: 4x400m Men: Anas, Arokia, Dharun, Kunhumohammed, Mohan Kr. Sumit Kumar; 4x400m Women: Nirmala, Poovamma, Anilda, Jisna, Debashree, Ashwini.

Interesting stats 

 

More interesting than quota from a medal perspective is medal opportunities .......

 

for example the hockey squad may have 16 quotas but will have only 1 medal opportunity but gagan is only 1 quota but he has 3 medal opportunities  and medal opportunity does not also correspond to events as we may have both ayonika and apurvi in 10m air rifle which is one event but two medal oppurtunities 

 

As per my count so in Rio  while we have 120 -121 quotas we have 91-92 medal opportunities and participation in  66 events 

in london we had 83 quotas and 69 medal opportunities  in 55 events

    • Alix Klineman has also announced her retirement following the conclusion of the AVP League    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DB9CZwrPfqj/?igsh=MTZiaDk0NndmaTAzcQ==   What a sad year for beach volleyball, with Brouwer, Meeuwsen, Ludwig, Bobner, Pavan, and now these two retiring. 
    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He changes the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for small/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
    • Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
    • So much for "everybody's laughing at us if we elect Harris"
